on a more serious note...and one a bit more on topic...after posting a quote from this album on another thread...I have to say...this album may feature the best paul lyrics ever. poignant...personal...deep...and (as I fully expect)...full of paulie metaphors. yep...ever.

I want to tell her that I love her a lot, but I got to get a belly full of wine.

I like the lyrics, too, Chris. On the surface, many appear to be "silly love songs," but I think there is a lot of double meaning (whether it was intentional or done sub-consciousely) to some of the lyrics, as well:Everybody else is busy doing better than me/and I can see why it is/they got someone setting them free/someone breaking the chains/someone letting them be

what I'm going to do next/I'll leave entirely to your imagination/I can bet, I can bet, I can bet you'll never guess

we follow blindly/heading for the light/we've got a feeling/it's gonna be alright

well, there's many examples, but I chose some from the love songs. More than just relationship stuff he's talking about, I think...

in years to come/they may discover/what the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about/but it won't be soon enough for me

you boys are spot on. every song is (at it's weakest) good. maybe real good...or better.

i am not one...ordinarily...to early call an album great. but i think this one is. this has affected me more deeply and more quickly than chaos, MAF, flaming pie...and i continue to learn it's nuances and details...this album is a true wonder.

And you thought we were overhyping it! I agree. I can't get enough of it. It's great for more reasons than any Paul album since the 1970s.
